David,
An Open Access handler for a DSPF does exactly what is being asked. It
provides a translation of the 5250 data stream into.. whatever you want.
There is no reason why an Open Access handler could be written to directly
translate into HTML. The handlers that have been written to date tend to
be aimed toward a particular client delivery, and some of those can then
be delivered as HTML. Since the 5250 OA handler process requires a long
study of DDS keywords, it tends to be a little prohibitive for the average
business to spend time developing.
As for 5250 in HTML, this is already available. IBM i Access for the Web
provides that directly.

I am interested to know if it would have ever been possible to
include HTML, CSS and Javascript within the 5250 data stream. After
all, 5250 and HTTP are both stateless protocols. Send the data stream
down to the client. Then independently get back a response stream.
Isn't that kind of what Open Access let's you do?
